Using sound to remember quantum information 30 times longer
A scanning electron microscope image highlighting a single mechanical oscillator, “tuning fork,” from the new work. The false-colored golden lines in the image indicate the location of electrodes that transfer…
The first experimental realization of quantum optical skyrmions in a semiconductor QED system
Polarization profiles of the cavity-enhanced single-photon skyrmions. Credit: Nature Physics (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41567-025-02973-y “These modes are carefully engineered superpositions of Laguerre-Gaussian states that carry orbital angular momentum, which is essential…
Next-level pixel-particle analogy uses quantum-inspired math to clarify noisy medical images
A medical image denoising method based on principles of quantum mechanics outperform machine learning, statistical methods, and neural networks. The same approach could aid quantum computing performance at scale. Credit:…
Quantum dot technique improves multi-photon state generation
The new approach uses a purely optical technique called stimulated two-photon excitation to generate streams of photons in different polarization states directly from a quantum dot without requiring any active…
Quantum technologies—’Standards currently offer a greater chance of success than regulation,’ says researcher

Physicists capture elusive instability and exotic vortices
The swirling patterns in Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” can help us visualize quantum Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI). The central spiral and surrounding stars and moon resemble the vortices formed…
Direct visualization of quantum zero-point motion in complex molecule reveals eternal dance of atoms
Ultrashort, high-intensity X-ray laser pulses trigger controlled explosions of molecules—making it possible to capture high-resolution images of molecular structures. Credit: Till Jahnke / Goethe University Frankfurt Most of us find…
Scientists achieve direct measurement of quantum metric tensor in black phosphorus
Researchers have successfully measured the quantum metric tensor in solids for the first time. Credit: Keun Su Kim from Yonsei University Quantum distance refers to a measure of quantum mechanical…
Researchers discover universal rules of quantum entanglement across all dimensions
Quantum entanglement in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions. Credit: Yuya Kusuki A team of theoretical researchers used thermal effective theory to demonstrate that quantum entanglement follows universal rules across all dimensions.…
